A great evil of the Fe4eral Govern. ment is the army of internal revenue t,ffioers who permeate the land, who are repulsivo to the people, and main tain a system of espionago that is in the last degree annoying. The Gov. ernment has, with unaccountable folly and cruelty, attached- penal ties to delinquencies of the most trifli ng kind that are entirely disproprortion. ate to the offene. A fine of fifty dollars, for failing to put a two-cent stainp upon a check, and at one time, a bill.
